tbe Posted December 15, 2000 Share Posted December 15, 2000 Gabriel Le Mar - Gab's Gift Artist: Gabriel Le Mar Title: Gab's Gift Label: Spirit Zone Date: 2000 Track listing: 01. 08'52" Unlimited Love 02. 06'10" Bob 03. 06'58" Freedom Come 04. 04'55" April My Dear 05. 08'55" West-Ghost 06. 06'47" Interpole 07. 07'13" No Shelter 08. 05'03" All That We See 09. 06'36" Manipulation And Technique 10. 03'53" Inna Fire 11. 07'31" Fairytale Review: Second album from Gabriel le Mar (Saafi brothers). Firt track is a psychedelic ambient track with acoustic guitar and vocals...very good to start. Track 2 is nice too, but nothing special..Third track starts with a good basic rythm then comes a nice melodic loop and effects "a la" Gabriel le mar..very positive song..reverb rules !..Next track begins with those famous psychedelic house sounds that make you immediately recognize Gab' . A powerfull and well built rythm make you wanna dance. It's a pity that this track is so short... Same pattern for the next track : powerfull rythm, psy housy sounds... A perfect track to fly....very kind with your brain :-) "Interpole" (track 6) have a dub feeling..I would like to hear this track behind coconut palms B-) Track 7 is "No shelter" that you know if you have Tantrance 9...a very good typical Gab's track ! Next tracks is more psytrance with vocals...not the best track from the album ! Track 9 make you hardly stay on your seat...if you're sad today, listen this track..you will smile and dance in your bathroom :-)))) perfect rythm....one of the best track of the album. Track 10 is a good psychedelic jungle short track. Last track is called "fairytale" and guess what ? it's a fairytale... beautiful ambient sounds meet a good rythm.... So, a very good album, Gabriel le Mar succeed in creating a melting from different styles...and always very psychedelic. Rythms are "hard" ones as psytrance but synth sounds are "soft" ones as House and ambient. The cover is very smart like a Flemish paint !! You will find BPM for each tracks, too.

freak51 Posted December 16, 2000 Share Posted December 16, 2000 Track 9 is special. The rest is about the same record as Gab's Lab: you don't need both, but you might like to have one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikrozomme[at]bgvirtual[dot]zzn[ Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 For me this album is nothing special.The feeling is groovy and melow but I don't find anything exciting.But...the second track is exclusive-one of my favourite of all times.It sounds so melancholic,especially the melody in the middle-fucking great!!!!!!Only for that track I think the album is worth buying.I listened to it when my girlfriend had just gone away and I cried.4/10,but for "Bob"-100/10/Thank you,Gab.

Guest gizmo Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 is, that this album is great 8/10, but Gab's Lab is better, is more dubish, more ambient, less trancy. Try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ravemail10 Posted January 31, 2001 Share Posted January 31, 2001 Quite nice. Not really party music, more of a psychedelic chill-trance album. I really enjoyed track 1 and 2, track 9 is nice and also track 7. For some reason this reminds me of the mainstream Enigma minus the vocals. I don't have Gab's Lab so I don't know how similar this is to Le Mar's previous works. I know this isn't like the Saafi brothers since it isn't ambient, though Gift's themes sound remotely similar. 8/10 cause it's quite nice but short of being a masterpiece. More like this please :-) Bom! - Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest heierli[at]library.ethz[dot]ch Posted May 13, 2001 Share Posted May 13, 2001 When i heard this cd first time, i began to smile and was happy. When you like chill-out and ambient stuff, with trance and house influences, then you will love it. It's a lovely and warm atmosphere there. I think it's very good lounge-music, relaxed and happy. My favourites: Unlimited Love: one of the most beautiful tracks i've ever heard, with acoustic guitars, nice melodies and full of emotions. West-Ghost: Warm trance-track, with jazzy melodies. No Shelter: A minimalistic Ambient-Track with house influences. Fairytale: Beautiful Chill-Out-Track with a good groove. 9/10, no masterpiece, but good to enjoy it after partys.
